I know Bangkok quite well so was reasonably familiar with the neighborhood. Staying in that part of the city was fantastic! Anyone who wants a truly local experience should keep that in mind. But the great thing is, you are also within easy access to many more "modern conveniences" -- including western owned coffee shops and restaurants (and five star hotels). Sutatt's street is small so make sure you bring instructions for the taxi driver (in Thai). But Sutatt also speaks English fluently so you can always call and get things sorted out -- and he's very helpful with tips and assistance on local sites, etc. Definitely a kind host. The room I stayed in is for sure the best room. Most natural light. Everything in the apartment is new and clean and the wifi works fine. Again, remember that this is a more "local area". The street is small and about 100 metres from the main road. It's also safe, though. No issues day or night. It's an exciting, fun and fascinating part of Bangkok to stay -- and next to the river. Get on the river taxi and take it to Khao San. BTS train close as well. All in all, the right place to stay at a very reasonable price for those seeking a unique Bangkok journey. Walk around and be curious!
